Barclaycard US Airways Miles

[dave0311]

I saw a 40,000 bonus mile promotion for the US Airways Mastercard on the Barclaycard website, and the rep on the phone just told me I would be eligible even though I already have the arrival+ card. However, he wasn't able to answer the following question. Can anyone here who has this card help me out?

Can you redeem the miles on the US Airways Mastercard for any purchases, or just US Airways purchases?

Thanks!

It's not like the arrival, they can only be redeemed through US Air.  But over the next year or so they'll be converting to American AAdvantage miles which could come in handy paired with Citi's AAdvantage card bonuses.
